Anniversary Of Thomas Paine

EDM number 475 in 1993-94, proposed by Graham Allen on 27/01/1994.

That this House notes the 257th anniversary on the 29th January of the birth of Thomas Paine; acknowledges that British democrats and indeed democrats around the world owe a debt of gratitude to Thomas Paine as one of the earliest advocates of fundamental and inalienable human rights; believes that the case for fundamental citizen's rights are just as relevant today; and calls on the Government to recognise the anniversary of Thomas Paine's birth by committing itself to the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into British law.

This motion has been signed by a total of 81 MPs.
